Villanova adds 4-star F Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree to 2017 recruiting class

The national champions added a vital piece for their future Friday, as four-star forward Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree committed to Villanova.

A Philadelphia native, the 6-foot-8 high school junior is ESPN's third-ranked player in the state of Pennsylvania for the class of 2017. The commitment comes just one day after Cosby-Roundtree and his mother visited coach Jay Wright at the Villanova campus.

Cosby-Roundtree was being pursued by seven other Division I programs, including Syracuse, Providence, and Temple. His addition will certainly help the Wildcats, who will lose Kris Jenkins after the 2016-17 season.
